Gone shopping?

Or has no new shoes changed our habits?

I'm melting, I'm melting...

I nearly had a Buy Less: Live more meltdown yesterday.

I had had a particularly tiring, upsetting day and to top it all had caught hubby's man flu. I desperately wanted to go home for a nice hot bath and the oblivion of sleep, but was due to be at university for the evening (not having done any of my preparation!). On my way there I went through Marks and Spencer (the quickest route through the tube station) only to discover they had a massive sale on - tops, skirts, jumpers etc from only £5!!!

I wanted to shop. I NEEDED to shop. But I resisted and restricted my spending to a £1 cup of fairtrade coffee from the uni canteen. I didn't feel much better for it though.

Your pouches will degrade after time, so you will have to repair them every once in a while in the abyss.Try and keep all of your tools and items organized in a neat way.Once the timeframe reaches 0 to X minutes, the star is about to land.

emo ergo sum: I shop, therefore I am.
The average UK household spends £443 a week, with £58 on recreation & culture and £62 a week on transport. But what if we didn't? What if we said ‘no!’ to all this spending and settled on just buying what we need? The thought fills us with fear…
no new shoes started as a Lent experiment and is now a blog about daily Christian living, consumerism, life and whatever thoughts happen to come our way...
